About Us

Our Story

Lynn and Alison opened their first nursery in Charmouth in September 2002. In February 2005 we opened our second nursery in Axminster, Devon, which is registered to take 50 children. Due to a fall in numbers of children in the Charmouth area, and an increase in demand in Axminster, Lynn and Alison decided to close their Charmouth nursery and concentrate on Axminster, which continues to go from strength to strength.
Axminster is a great location for Tick Tocks, we moved into our new purposely built building at the beginning of October 2017. The building was specifically designed with the children in mind. We have a baby and toddler room for the children to explore, this room has its own craft area, bathroom and two sleep rooms. A great new addition to our nursery is the sensory room, for all the children to enjoy and relax in.

We have a large pre-school room giving the children many learning opportunities, this room also has its own craft area and bathroom. We have a garden which is accessible from each of the rooms with covered areas for all year round play. We also have an indoor soft play area for the children.
